# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.

250 Reset OK

550-Anti-spam measures rejected your email.
550 rejected: administrative prohibition

Although I'd like to get rid of that extra '-' after 550... got this in
reject.messages:

sender_reject:          Anti-spam measures rejected your email.
